CARTON FOR NUTMEGS AND THE LIKE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 18, 1907.

Application filed June 4.1906. Serial To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN B. FALLoN, Jr., of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cartons for Nutmegs and the Like, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a grater for nutmegs which is attached to the carton, and which acts as a reinforcement of the carton while the nutmeg is being In the drawings Figure 1 is an elevation of one side of my carton; Fig. 2 is an elevation of another side, partly in section; Fig. 3 is a section on line 33 of Fig. 2.

Carton A is made in the usual proportions suitable for holding nutmegs and has small flaps a and large flaps a at each end.

B is the grater and is made of sheet metal bent to have portion 1) parallel with portion 6 and these two parallel portions are connected by portion b Grating projections 6 b are provided on portion 1). The way in which I prefer to attach the grater to the body of the carton is to fold the small flaps a into position, then apply glue and next put the grater in position against the small flaps the sides ofthe body portion of the carton. Then one of the larger flaps with glue upon its inner face is folded upon the grater and finally the other large flap is glued upon the first large flap. In this way the grater is firmly and securely held to the body of the carton. The portion of the grater having shown to give greater resistance while the nutmeg is being grated.

In using the grater the body portion'of the I counteracts both of these tendencies, and in eflect clamps the body ortion between the two parallel portions of the grater. With my arrangement I insure the convenience of having the carton for the nutmegs and a grater at hand together, and the carton provides a base for the grater, and the grater itself gives support to that base.

What I claim is:

1. A cardboard carton of the character described comprising a body portion and a metal grater attached to the carton and engaging two sides of the carton to reinforce the body portion.

2. A cardboard carton of the character described comprising a body portion with end flaps and a grater held to the body portion by the end flaps and engaging two sides of the body portion to reinforce the body portion.

3. A cardboard carton of the character described comprising a body portion and a grater attached to the body portion and made of sheet metal bent to have two portions parallel and a third portion connecting the parallel portions, the two parallel portions engaging the two sides of the carton, and the third portion engaging the end of the carton to reinforce the body of the carton.
